Last month I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable duo.
Brothers who were so full of joy and happiness, not to mention super duper cute!
It was a beautiful summer evening, the kind that are so fleeting that you just have to get out and enjoy it!
We had fun exploring the park, looking for turtles and counting the fish. Oh and a few photos too of course.
A big milestone for this adorable baby planner.
It’s been SO much fun watching him grow and change over the past year!
I always feel so honored when clients chose me to document these milestones in their little ones lives.
We pulled out my new little circus tent for his session, it was a BIG hit!
Oh how I love this family SO much! I’ve had the honor and true pleasure of photographing them a few times a year ever since their oldest little man was a wee one. I always look forward to seeing them, and when they moved to Canada this past year I was SO bummed! But when life landed me in their area this summer, I was excited to be able to see them all again and catch up and spend some time with them all. And the bonus- I got to meet and photograph the new love in their lives!
The seriously get more gorgeous with each baby… and their kids are so stinking cute too!
S family you know I love you so- thanks again for all your hospitality, and of course letting me document your awesomeness once again
Month 9 of my Life Stories Project. Life Stories Project? See MONTH 1 for the full story.
The gist of the project, is myself along with some fellow photographers are doing a monthly photo project- of our OWN children.
Our goal- to document the little things we want to remember, as childhood is so fleeting.
And fleeting it is… my babies are turning 10 in a short 10days. A new decade. I honestly can’t believe it.
This, is my girl. My only girl. Lovingly referred to as “The Princess” around our home. She is a kind, sweet, loving, funny, spunky girl.
Now she, of all my children, is the one who LEAST likes to be photographed. I dare say she hates it sometimes.
As a child of a photographer, it’s a common occupational hazard.
So I knew my best bet was to let her run the show. So she did.
While the photographs are mine, the styling- from dress, to her hair, to location, to items that will appear……all her.
My job was to just let her shine. And shine she did.
The location- a field of flowers- with plenty of room for her to roam and explore…
Very much HER. On both accounts. Thankfully moreso the one on the right, although her brothers probably see the left face more.
But most of all, what she loves MOST. Is to read.
READ READ READ READ READ
The book, Harry Potter of course, her favorite. She’s read them all 4 times.
The quilt- something she loves to curl up on the couch with, and also very meaningful to me.
This quilt was made by my grandmother- and as a true scrap quilt, contains pieces of fabric from 3 generations.
Some fabric from my grandmothers clothing, some from my mom, and some from me, when I was a wee child.
In the quilt there is even fabric from my childhood quilt, which The Girl now has on her own bed.
My mom gave this quilt to me when I first moved into my own home, and it’s a treasure to me.
The fact that it’s also The Girl’s favorite, makes me smile.
She loves to explore in nature- often with a backpack in hand to collect her findings, if we let her she’d go far and wide.
She’s my girl
beautiful girl and location!!! love love the last 2!!!
Oh Amy, these are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Nice! By the way, I love your mother daughter sessions. I was thinking of doing the same thing! Great idea!
Just beautiful Amy……I wish that photography had been so accessible back when my girls we’re little so that I’d have some of those memories as well. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the Grandkids!!!
These are divine, especially that first one. Beautiful!
I love these photos! Lily is so beautiful, and you really captured her personality!
Beautiful. You had me tearing up. So special.
Wow! You have captured some magic with these images!
She’s beautiful and quite talented at styling sessions! Happy birthday to your kiddos!
Gorgeous!! These images will be cherished forever!
This adorable duo came into the studio for a fun mother-daughter session.
I wish MORE moms would document their amazing relationship with their children.
I love so many images from their mini session!
I LOVE photographing this family!
I feel truly blessed to have had a small part in documenting their lives for the past year.
Miss Stella has turned one- and is definitely going to be keeping them all on their toes!
Wheeeeeeee! She loves when her mom or dad toss her in the air
Miss Stella has the best big sister- Zoe is a true gem and an excellent twirler
I just LOVE this image of her with her adoring grandma
I particularly like the black and white close-up, you did a great job on it!
Month 8 of my Life Stories Project. Life Stories Project? See MONTH 1 for the full story.
The gist of the project, is myself along with some fellow photographers have created a monthly photo project- of our OWN children.
Our goal is to document the little things we want to remember, as childhood is so fleeting.
So….you may not know this about me, but I am a fan of shaggy hair on boys. I just love shaggy hair, tousled hair, messy hair…
I think it’s just such a sweet, whimsical part of childhood. Now, many of my ahem, extended family members have been asking for a LONG time now “When are you going to cut the baby’s hair??”
While I do really like shaggy hair, I will admit that my main reluctance and postponing of this big event, is that I was just not really ready for it….I am not ready for my “baby” to stop looking like a baby. As I KNEW once we cut his hair, it would be another chapter closing. But, with summer here, and the heat, the time had come.
So I did ONE last little photoshoot to document his hair.
I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this image. I’ve already ordered it as a canvas for my wall!
Okay- so the time had come, and off to Kids Hair we went. First we waited till it was out turn. Yes his hair was long…
Then- the inevitable first cut…..you can really see how much they chopped!
His siblings looked on…
Bye-bye-baby-hair
The hair dryer was traumatic- thank goodness for his sister who sang him a song
All done!! Sucker in mouth and headed right to the door…
BEFORE and AFTER
it’s amazing how much a hair cut can change how a child looks! you reminds me of my youngest same baby fine blonde hair!! love how you captured this fun memory!!
What a handsome little man, love his little pout faces!
What a doll!! I love the before and after shots…he’s happy as happy can be in both! <3
Oh my goodness!!! look how big he looks now!!! gosh them big boy hair cuts!
First haircuts are such a big deal. He looks adorable! LOVE that first image and OMG, his big sister singing him a song? WAY too sweet.
Oh – that pouty face gets me right in the heart. Glad sissy was there for him. He looks so handsome!
He looks so grown up now! I’m hanging on as long as I can until I have to cut my kids hair – I know the feeling!
Such a difference! He is handsome with or without his hair.
Oh my goodness, he is a doll! His little pout, the end of an era… it brought tears to my eyes. He looks like such a big boy now! I love that you documented this. Wonderful!
